Sawyer calls Roger the Work Man "Skeletor" in S3E10: Tricia Tanaka is Dead.

Quote:

Hurley: Dude. That beer's been there since before Rocky 3, maybe even 2, it's probably poison by now.

[Sawyer looks over at the remains of Roger that has been propped up beside the van with his head back on his shoulders]

Sawyer: Skeletor seems to like it.

[Sawyer taps Roger's skull with a can of beer]

Sawyer: Bottom's up!

The first minicomics that accompanied the 1981-1983 line of Masters of the Universe toys presented the earliest version of MOTU continuity and are fascinating for their many differences from the more widely-known continuity of the later Filmation cartoon and the later minicomics which sought to complement it. For example, there is no royal court of Eternia (Eternos), no King Randor and Queen Marlena, and certainly no Prince Adam. Instead, He-Man is depicted as the scarcely-superhuman champion of a tribe of stone-age jungle-dwellers.

These very first minicomics (which were actually more like storybooks, with a single image per page footed by prose) stated that Skeletor was originally an inhabitant of another dimension, populated with others of "his kind". During "The Great Wars" (an ambiguous and intriguing concept which was largely ignored in later continuities) a hole was opened in the dimensional wall and Skeletor was thrown from his world into Eternia.
